Other Factoring Notes

The document discusses different methods for factoring polynomials, including factoring by grouping, synthetic division, and long division. It provides steps and examples for each method, but does not contain details about specific people, places, or a narrative story. Factoring by grouping involves grouping terms and factoring out their greatest common factor. Synthetic division uses coefficients and remainders to determine if a number is a zero of a polynomial. Long division follows steps to divide one polynomial by another.
